Sports journalist Bomani Jones and Crystal Echo Hawk, executive director of IllumiNative and citizen of Pawnee, join Roy Wood Jr. to discuss the harm posed by Native imagery in sports branding, how Americans are undereducated in Native issues, and what’s next for other professional sports teams (we see you, Atlanta and Kansas City).
